So, my husband is still reading the book. He has about 250 pages left, and I told him he must finish by late tonight because we're going for drinks with friends who have both finished it.
He sent me a text message earlier
that said, "Dobby died, damn it!"
Poor thing. He was even more torn up about it than I was.
I also had a gloating moment about ( Read more... ) -
Deathly Hallows
I haven't been in too much of a hurry to post my thoughts here, because after getting home from a lovely Potterish weekend with katrionaa and emilylaughed , I found myself simply wanting to savor it all. I adored this book more than I could have possibly expected, and I wasn't quite ready to explain how I adored it just yet. But I've finally become too trapped ( Read more... ) -
OotP midnight showing
We were the talk of the theater with our cool Dumbledore's Army shirts. I wore mine to work yesterday, since I was going straight to the theater afterwards, and I was the talk of work, too. I had people asking me if they could get one for their daughters/sons. It was quite the sensation.
Now, on to the movie.
I quite enjoyed this one. In fact, it ( Read more... ) -
I thought the World Confederation of Pirates and Ninjas would appreciate this
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Has anybody seen this video?
So much love for nerdy pirates and ninjas with Boston accents.
EDIT: I found this on Facebook, and it looks like the kids who made it are from Louisiana, which makes it even cooler. -

*taps microphone* Hello? Ahem, so I'm about the last person to finally chime in on Phoenix Rising, but I promise I have good reason. Moving! There was moving! Yes, I know some of you are going, "WTF? Why is Kayla ALWAYS moving? Why is she always, 'Oh noes! Moving woes!'?" (<--how'd you like that creative punctuation, by the way?). But the moving ( Read more... ) -
An open letter
Dear Christmastime,
It is with great distress that I report how your early arrival has caught me quite by surprise. My experience with the Generally Accepted Holiday Practices has been that the day after Thanksgiving officially signals your start. One cannot change that Wal-Mart begins preparing for your visit sometime around Labor Day. But I feel ( Read more... ) -
Lost 3.01
The Others are good Googlers.
Seriously. At first I thought it was all ominous that Juliet had this extensive dossier on Jack. But I actually hadn't seen the first 3 minutes of the episode (the most shocking part!). I watched this morning, and I now think that they must, somehow, have Internet access. Because all of that information, or most of it ( Read more... ) -

I've picked up a few new friends in recent weeks (and you're a diverse lot), so I decided I would make a post and tell you who the hell I am. Just cuz.
I started this journal just over a year ago, for the sole purpose of keeping up with Harry Potter fandom activities as part of my role in planning HP conferences (God, that seems like eons ago.) It ( Read more... ) -

I. People really think we should just abandon New Orleans to the sea. *boggles* I can't believe they're still saying this crap. National Geographic readers are supposed to be enlightened or something. But hey, why not just leave it to die? Meanwhile, we should abandon New York City, because another terrorist attack is inevitable. Washington D.C. ( Read more... )
